Trailblazing computer scientist Fei-Fei Li’s memoir “The Worlds I See: Curiosity, Exploration, and Discovery at the Dawn of AI” has been selected as the Princeton Pre-read for the Class of 2028.

The book, which connects Li’s personal story as a young immigrant and scientist with the origin stories of artificial intelligence and human-centered AI, was named to technology book lists for 2023 by the Financial Times and former President Barack Obama.

President Christopher L. Eisgruber, who began the Pre-read tradition in 2013, said he hopes Li’s story will inspire incoming first-year students. After reading the book over the summer, members of the Class of 2028 will discuss the “The Worlds I See” with Li and Eisgruber at the Pre-read Assembly during Orientation.
